Psalm 23 “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”

I will cherish the memories of our study time and conversations about the Bible and Jesus Christ. It warms my heart to see that you have found God and grasped the essence of His message, embracing salvation through His loving Grace. I have no doubt that Jesus said, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant’ (Matthew 25:21).
May the Lord wrapped His loving arms around all the family and friends and give them comfort and peace in the days and months ahead. Knowing she is in Heaven with Jesus and the Father gives me peace aunt Betty is at peace and around the Throne of God..
Amen brother

Momma I love you and I will alway miss you thank you again for being there for me .rest easy and fly high in peace I love you .
You have suffered Aunt Betty long enough, You were brave strong and tough. The battle you fought was long and hard, But it’s okay auntie let go and let God.
It has hurt all of us when you left that day, It left me broken hearted with nothing to say. I don’t want to be selfish say please don’t leave, Because I did not want to hurt or grieve.
I know in my heart you are in a better place, But I swear im going to miss your beautiful face. I am going to miss the talks we would have, And the stories I would tell that would make you laugh.
God just needed you to come home, Yes we know it has made your family sore. You will always be remembered every single day, From the smile on your face to the things you would say.
You have taken your space in heaven right where you belong, Right up there with all of your family . Yes we all know that we need to be strong, But through our family your memory will live on.
The love of aunt Betty can be quietly powerful — steady, kind, and lasting. Though she is gone, her legacy lives on in our hearts and in the lessons she shared.
Aunt Betty often shape our lives in subtle but lasting ways. Our aunt’s warmth, wisdom, and love will stay with you always, carried forward in the person you are today.
I have known Betty as long as I can remember. Her Aunt Edna was my step grandmother and so we were sort of kinfolk. Betty always had a smile on her face and was one of the nicest people I have ever known. I do not remember seeing Betty mad or bitter about anything. She was always happy. I know many are going to miss Betty, but she is no longer suffering and is pain free!!! I know her family and friends have many good memories of Betty to help get them through the rough patches to come and I have many memories of her myself. You will definitely be missed!
